What's wrong with this lawyer?!

At Handong Transportation University, He Xinyu, who just started her sophomore year, was lying on her dorm bed, incessantly tapping on her phone as she engaged in a heated online debate with others.

"How many times have I said it? I admit that Tang Fangjing has indeed done a lot of good deeds and has even been injured in the process of doing good. However, does that mean a person who has done good deeds can't do bad things?"

"Now that the rapist is about to be prosecuted, the police made an arrest, and the prosecutor's office is bringing charges, there must be ample evidence. Do you think the police and the prosecution don't know better than you?"

"Acting as the defendant's lawyer in such a case and exploiting legal loopholes so that the victim can't get a penny, what's with that behavior? I want him to come out and explain himself. Is there a problem with that?"

He Xinyu felt these people were truly unreasonable. Rape is rape; if a sexual act occurred, could it still be suggested that it didn't happen?

Among those she was debating with, someone with the username "Rem My Wife" was particularly vehement in their statements.

The most baffling part was how fast this person typed; she would say one thing, and they could fire back ten.

"Rem My Wife": As per what you said, how do wrongful convictions happen? As long as the court hasn't sentenced him, he's just a suspect, and no one can remove that label!

"What do you mean by exploiting legal loopholes? Xin Xin's argument is downright laughable. I was worried he might transfer his assets, so I transferred them first. Does that mean if I'm worried someone wants to kill me, it's okay for me to go ahead and kill them first?"

At home in the Bright District, Ju Haiqing was tirelessly typing on the computer, muttering to himself, "You want to argue with me? Bring it on. I can go all day with you!"

For a web novelist, there's nothing they dread more than writing, yet nothing they fear less than writing.

Ask them to write 4,000 words, and they'll complain to high heaven, but let them loose to chat or argue online, and cranking out 10,000 words a day is a breeze...

In front of Ju Haiqing's computer was another screen displaying an anime series, beneath which were the legal tidbits needed for the debate.

Just then, Ju Haiqing suddenly noticed two bulletins pop up in the trending searches.

Clicking on them eagerly, he felt a wave of elation.

He posted the link directly in the comment section, "Come on, take a look for yourself. The so-called victim is now the one being imprisoned. I'm curious to know what you think."

He Xinyu was typing out a lengthy response, her mobile typing clearly less efficient than using a computer. After laboring to send her lengthy reply, she saw the response from the other side.

Immediately, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly clicked to look, sitting bolt upright from her bed.

"How is this possible? Rape happened, so how did it turn into slander and framing? Did the rape not occur?" He Xinyu just couldn't understand; she truly couldn't.

"Rem My Wife" kept replying, challenging her to step outside.

He Xinyu directly responded, "What do I think? There must be something fishy going on here. What, now if a girl gets mistreated, we have to first clarify if the other party is a real criminal before we report it?"

"Otherwise, it's slander and entrapment, right?"

"Leaving everything else aside, whether there was mutual consent or Xin Xin was the one mistreated, it turns out that she's the slanderer when the other party faces no repercussions? Who would use their own innocence to slander someone else?"

Rem My Wife: "You make a good point, so I'm curious, now that the police have made an arrest and the prosecutor's office is overseeing it, do you think the police and prosecutors don't know better than you?"

He Xinyu couldn't hold back any longer. She threw her phone onto the floor, then immediately picked it up again, in distress. She was frustrated.

Online, there were more than a few people as frustrated as her because the case had taken a complete U-turn.

You would expect a suspect to be exonerated, but for a victim to suddenly be labeled as a criminal suspect was more than some netizens could take.

Especially when the crime was something as serious as rape!

Those who earlier claimed online that the prosecution and law enforcement could never make mistakes were now turning to attack Jingzhou's legal system...

Yet, after the reversal, those netizens who previously stirred up trouble stopped refuting the turn of events, instead using screenshots of their own previous comments as replies.

After all, only magic can defeat magic.

Attempts at rebuttal faced their own words coming back like boomerangs. There were those with fiery tempers cursing all over the place, but they couldn't change the reality.

Everything was in chaos now.

People in their frustration were making comments against Old Tang, claiming he only helped men in legal battles and never women.

Honestly, Old Tang was numb to these remarks; since when did lawyers consider the gender of their clients while fighting legal battles? Couldn't these people think about anything other than gender?

Aren't lawyers supposed to look at the money when taking on a case, rather than if you're a man or a woman?

If there's no money in it, it doesn't matter what you look like; nothing's worse than going hungry.

Lately, Old Tang's most frequent task was to visit the Guangming District Court Enforcement Bureau, urging them to retrieve whatever assets they could recover.

However, enforcement isn't omnipotent. Money that hadn't been touched could be recovered, but spent money, like what Kang Xinxin used to buy a beauty salon card, was much harder to reclaim.

You could take the card back and negotiate with the beauty salon to see if they'd refund the money, but this was a negotiation, not a mandatory recovery, and there was no right to such action.

Unless you could prove that the beauty salon knew the money had been transferred illicitly by the individual, you could file a lawsuit... but that's obviously impossible, so forget about it.
